If you saw my last submission
you’ll recognize this beauty. It is Hasegawa’s 1/48 scale F-14B Bombcat. It
won first place in the Aircraft Jet-Fighter/Recon 1/48 category at the South
Carolina Modeler’s Association Charleston Model Contest.

I detailed the kit using Eduards
F-14A photo-etch set, True Detail seats, Hasegawa weapons, and copper wire. The
BOL’s and the bomb racks were scratch built. I used the upper half of a set of
Monogram wing glove pylons. It was easier to convert Monograms Sidewinder rails
than Hasegawas. The lower halves of the pylons are modified Hasegawa Phoenix
pylons.
